You tell me, what other language has a drop-in solution that provides module management, formatting, integration with the debugger, intellisense docs, linting with static analysis while I'm typing, and even testing? The plug-in is actually made by the Go Team at Google, its not like adding Black and Poetry etc. in python, its not even like the moving target that is create-react-app or whatever people use now in JS/TS. Those are much older languages, but what would you compare it to?

I'm not saying Go is the only modern language, its pretty retro in some ways, but it has an exceptional tooling story. The fact that its mainly based around the official go tool helps.

Rust also has those things. (It also has performance profiling, fuzz testing, benchmarking tools, etc, etc., as I'm guessing golang does.)

Thats dope, and I kind of figured.

The tooling is probably why Go and Rust get compared so often, despite having little in common. Its weird to see that written off as a common feature though. It was nothing like my experience with clojure or julia.

If there are any languages with Go-like tooling that have a bigger job market, I'd love to know.
